# How to Make Your Sofa Taller
Add height to your sofa to make it easier for tall people or those with injuries or disabilities to sit down or get up from the couch. The additional height also gives you the option to store items under the sofa. Swap out the legs under your sofa or add risers to give it a lift. Once you achieve the desired height, store items underneath in decorative boxes or hide the new storage area with a long slipcover. Change the legs or remove the risers if you ever want to go back to the original height.
